Review

Despite a three-year gap since the last album, cEvin Key doesn't stray too far from the Download formula here: electronic dance music with a lot of atmospherics. The album straddles the line of requiring active interest quite nicely -- if you're interested in the soundscapes, there's a lot going on in the mix to hold you, but if you'd rather use it as a soundtrack to your workday or reading, it's unobtrusive enough to provide the perfect complement. ~ Sean Carruthers, All Music Guide
